Catching the Sun

The UMN Institute of the Environment’s Sustainability Education program hosted a showing at the Bell Museum of “Catching the Sun” “a 2015 documentary film on the growth of the solar power industry. Directed by Shalini Kantayya, the film features portraits of diverse personalities and their roles in the transition to solar power” (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Catching_the_Sun_(film)). While there were other events associated with the showing and even a Q & A with the filmmaker Shalini Kantayya after the film, I was only able to see the film. Its a great film stressing the importance of the growing solar power industry. You can learn more about the film here: http://www.catchingthesun.tv/
